Abstract
The pros and cons of the experimental and theoretical techniques used for following the crosslinking and scission reactions in irradiated polymers are briefly discussed. Special emphasis is given to the role of the reactions of main chain scission and endlinking and its influence on the analysis based on gelation theories. It is shown that increased initial scission could have a significant effect as well as the restricted or unlimited endlinking reaction which is not distinguished from the conventional reaction of crosslinking. Modified theoretical concepts could bring more insight into the nature of radiation induced reactions in polymers.
